Let c denote the largest constant such that every C-6-free graph G contains a bipartite and C-4-free subgraph having a fraction c of edges of G. Gyori, Kensell and Tompkins showed that 3/8
This paper investigates entropic matroids, that is, matroids whose rank function is given as the Shannon entropy of random variables. In particular, we consider p-entropic matroids, for which the random variables each have support of cardinality p. We draw ...
Consider the problem of constructing a polar code of block length N for a given transmission channel W. Previous approaches require one to compute the reliability of the N synthetic channels and then use only those that are sufficiently reliable. However, ...
We consider the problem of finding a target object t using pairwise comparisons, by asking an oracle questions of the form “Which object from the pair (i, j) is more similar to t?”. Objects live in a space of latent features, from which the oracle generate ...
We study a generalization of the classical stable matching problem that allows for cardinal preferences (as opposed to ordinal) and fractional matchings (as opposed to integral). After observing that, in this cardinal setting, stable fractional matchings c ...
In this thesis we give new algorithms for two fundamental graph problems. We develop novel ways of using linear programming formulations, even exponential-sized ones, to extract structure from problem instances and to guide algorithms in making progress. S ...

A novel manifold learning approach is presented to incorporate computationally efficient obstacle avoidance constraints in optimal control algorithms. The method presented provides a significant computational benefit by reducing the number of constraints r ...
We consider the problem of estimating the value of MAX-CUT in a graph in the streaming model of computation. At one extreme, there is a trivial 2-approximation for this problem that uses only O(log n) space, namely, count the number of edges and output hal ...
A CUR approximation of a matrix A is a particular type of low-rank approximation where C and R consist of columns and rows of A, respectively. One way to obtain such an approximation is to apply column subset selection to A and its transpose. In this work, ...
